"Don't be sad, Xiao. This was Xing's own choice. I think he still values you as a friend, right?" Jiang Jinyu said softly.
He Xiao's brow twitched. When had Jiang Zhixing ever considered him a friend?
But he never said it aloud.
Feeling annoyed, she casually hummed in response, unaware of Jiang Jinyu's strange, excited, and somewhat distorted expression.
As Jiang Jinyu had said, Jiang Zhixing lay quietly on the bed, motionless, and apart from his pale complexion, he was no different from someone who was asleep.
At first, He Xiao's tone was cold and awkward, but after saying more, Jiang Zhixing didn't even blink, so He Xiao had no choice but to believe that what Jiang Jinyu said was true.
The thinly dressed boy stood by the hospital bed for a long time, staring intently at the person on the bed, trying to see the subtle, feigned changes in his expression, but he saw nothing.
All the expectations he had for this place, from school, had turned into nothingness. He wanted to swear, but he knew it wasn't the right occasion.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally said stiffly and resentfully, "Who asked you to save me? You deserve it!"
He said this, but his hands, which were in his pockets, were clenched tightly.
The air in the ward was silent for a moment. Jiang Jinyu, who had been standing at a distance, walked forward at some point, with a fake smile on his face.
"Ah Xiao, don't be sad, Ah Xing will wake up."
He offered words of comfort, but calmly and collectedly pulled a knife from his bag. The sharp blade reflected a chilling light as the sunlight streamed in through the window.
Just as he was about to approach He Xiao, time seemed to freeze at that moment.
The boy stood before the hospital bed with his eyes downcast, behind him a man with a distorted face, holding a knife.
...
The huge intersection is just a few hundred meters ahead, and there is the bridge where Shen Linyue, then 33 years old, fell off her car.
The black Maybach was waiting at the traffic light, having just started moving.
In the left lane, a dilapidated van suddenly sped out at an extremely high speed.
Shen Linyue, who was inside the car, was the first to notice the accelerating van. By the time she came to her senses and tried to warn the driver to be careful, it was too late.
The van's purpose was clear: it was heading straight for them. Even if the driver had exceptional composure and accelerated, he couldn't withstand the van's full-force attack.
Shen Linyue subconsciously grabbed the handrail on the roof of the car, her eyes closing in that instant.
A loud, violent impact suddenly rang in my ears.
But the impact sound didn't come from inside their car, but from outside.
At the same time, upon hearing the noise, Shen Linyue subconsciously opened her eyes. Through the car window, she seemed to see a blurry car speeding past.
And the driver of that car...
Shen Linyue stared wide-eyed, her lips parted slightly but she couldn't utter a single word.
She saw her own face.
She was the driver herself, how could this be...?
Just as she was completely stunned and unable to recover, a familiar yet annoying voice appeared in her mind.
"It wasn't easy for me, but I finally found the person, hehe..."
"I'm so fed up with you! The plot has gone completely off track! Help! Are you trying to kill me with work?! Damn it! I'm so angry!"
Just from the sound, you can tell that thing is jumping up and down in your head in a fit of rage.
Shen Linyue was not affected by it; the moment the van was hit, time seemed to stand still.
She saw the green light numbers across the street stop changing and saw the driver's terrified expression in the rearview mirror.
She looked out the window again and saw the electric bike riders on the non-motorized vehicle lane stop with their feet hanging in mid-air, while the electric bikes were still standing steadily on the side of the road.
Shen Linyue gradually fell into deep thought, and such an outrageous scene appeared so vividly.
"I'll take you back right now!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Linyue, who had been staring blankly, finally reacted and a smiling expression appeared on her face.
"I saw her. Did you find her?" she asked softly, lowering her eyes and whispering, "She's back. Does that mean I changed the future?"
The voice: "..."
"Change my ass! It's all thanks to me!" He sneered arrogantly, but still told him, "After you go back, your memories of coming here will gradually disappear, hmph! Don't blame me for not warning you."
Shen Linyue was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted it.
"I understand, thank you for telling me all this. But before I leave, I want to know if Ah Xiao is safe?" The girl said lightly, but upon closer inspection, her eyes were faintly red, and a layer of mist appeared in her bright eyes.
Actually, she had many, many more questions she wanted to ask, but when the words came to her lips, she only had the courage to ask about Ah Xiao.
"Don't cry! If you dare cry, I can make you lose all your memories right now!"
A threatening and fierce voice came, and Shen Linyue's tears finally fell uncontrollably.
"I just promised He Liyu I'd spend the New Year on the island this year, and I haven't even given Ah Xiao the birthday present I bought him yet, and..."
She repeated it over and over, and the voice, whether annoyed or softened, said stiffly, "That's enough. Can I let you take one more look at the He family father and son? You can't keep occupying your future self's place forever, can you? There are still many things waiting for you to do when you get back."
The voice didn't explain the meaning of the last sentence in detail, but Shen Linyue understood it inexplicably.
She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and a smile returned to her face.
"I understand, thank you."
Time seemed to start flowing again. The electric scooter came to a steady stop on the side of the road, and all the drivers at the intersection stopped, staring in horror and astonishment at the van that had been smashed to pieces in the green belt.
Through all of this, Shen Linyue saw Jiang Jinyu, who was lunging at He Xiao with a knife in his hand, being pinned to the ground by a group of men in hats who had suddenly barged in.
